Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
A tonally flat experience. The movie's highs and lows are modulated to the point where nothing moves you or touches you in these lives of not-desperate-enough desperation.
– Roger Moore,

fresh:
It's a heartbreaking, beautiful movie that gains strength from its deep characterizations.
– G. Allen Johnson,
San Francisco Chronicle,

fresh:
Its rewards come with patience and concentration.
– Tom Keogh,

fresh:
It has a romantic power that seeps into your bones, with its languid rhythms, general plotlessness, and fierce attention to surreal detail.

fresh:
The World has a lot to say and is not in any unholy rush to say it.
